I had the GCN version of King Kong, it was actually a pretty cool game. Also, the entire reason it was made is that Peter Jackson was impressed with Ancel's previous work, Beyond Good and Evil, which officially makes Peter Jackson awesome for all eternity as far as I'm concerned.
I don't know about everyone else but I am disappointed with the system so far and how it performs. We bought a deluxe edition and it is slower than my dual core Motorola phone that I play quake 3 on. My kids are the ones that the system was for and even they are disappointed with it. All the DLC for the games that have not come through yet but was promised in December. All the features that the system was supposed to have and that are lacking. This system was way over hyped. After reading the first few posts I am starting to think I should have waited for the new Microsoft system. And there is really not many games for the. At least there was a vast supply of games for the XBOX.
WII U. I hate to say the WII was a better system, maybe not the greatest graphics. Even my younger son wants to sell this thing and save for a new Microsoft system. He loves playing the Mario games but he does see what he is missing out on with the other systems on the market. So maybe soon we will have a WII U Deluxe for sale here.
Are you kidding me... Wii U wasn't hyped at all, if anything, people were doubting it since it was announced. The next PS/Xbox are 1-2 years off, and this is the best system you can get as of now. Just because Nintendo ditched sound programs like Dolby, DTS, and a more 'versatile' online, doesn't make it worse than anything. I agree, Xbox 360 and PS3 have tons of extras that make Wii U seem like alot less(not for me, but to you apparently), but it IS the best console in terms of potential, and kicks the other consoles' rears with the games it does have from those consoles(COD BO2, Darksiders 2, Batman AC, AC3, Tekken). We're waiting for the other consoles too you know, but if you as an individual feel the need to sell your console because your so disappointed, go ahead. I bet you'll be buying another one in a few months if you do sell it, so just a heads up.
It was hyped and no if we sell it i think i would get the kids a microsoft system when it comes out, right now they are playing just dance 4 the DLC was promised in December but nothing even the WII has the DLC for this game. So yes I think it is a train wreck right now. The only reason I did not get them a xbox is it being an aging system and due for the new one soon. I do not play consoles at all I have multiple PC gaming systems so do my kids so no big deal here just wasted some cash and learned a lesson. And I have seen a few people on here talking about mainstream next gen games, Do you think you will see GTA5 on this system in the future, I know Sony and Microsoft will have it but Nintendo wont, just an example. The new colonel marines will be out soon but I'm afraid to get it for this system, may just get 3 copies for PC. You know something I am picky after playing PC for all these years but my kids are little and do not know better and they are still noticing these issues so i know its not just me. I'm not here to complain but voice my opinion and I want Nintendo to hear it and know how many people are disappointed.

I stand corrected- it seems it received an 8.0 from IGN in 2005. Not too shabby!
I cannot emphasize enough how pointless Xbox has become with PS3 around. No wonder Microsoft is so focused on its non-gaming features, my god...
Dust: An Elysian Tail aside, I think even XBLA is becoming increasingly irrelevant. Most of the exclusives were terrible last year, and the year before wasn't much better.

I thought Alan Wake was 2011, though I somehow forgot about Fez. Again. But yeah, other than that, most of those games either look like crap or were crap in my opinion. I have over 90 XBLA games, none of which I regret (except effing Lode Runner, why did I get that?!), but don't think I'll be getting anymore if this trend continues.
They could TRY to appeal to Japanese gamers. Heck, I don't really like western games. I mean don't they want money? Can't they just appeal to both tastes.
Microsoft set up FeelPlus for the sole reason to assist the dude who made Final Fantasy make Lost Odyssey at Mistwalker.
A three disc exclusive JRPG with massive production values.
Game bombed.
There is a very limited market for console games in Japan. Most everyone buys a PS3 and Wii and then they don't need anything else.
Microsoft ended up marketing the XBox as an adult's game machine with violence and sex and such. The limited success the console had in Japan was because of that.

Well, if you don't have a Wii, you do now, plus Wii U on top of that. Wii got alot of good games besides the small amount of multiplatform games. Play the Wii version of Just Dance if you want the DLC. It's not really Nintendo's fault that 3rd parties weren't ready to support their system. In a way, 3rd parties are hypocritical to say they will put games out for any console they can, because that obviously wasn't completely true when it came to Wii U. Really, I have PS3, and got rid of my Xbox 360 for the same old, same old. Those consoles pushed forward for what was 'impressive', and now Wii U is out with equal plus some. There's reasons why Sony/Microsoft brought motion to their consoles. COD BO 2 can use Wii remote and nunchuck as a control scheme. Does Xbox 360/PS3 use motion controls for COD BO 2? Those are the kind of things you need to look at when you're trying to judge a console, not which one has the most FPS games.

To me, it just seems like you are biased against Nintendo. And that you don't have much hard information backing up your claims.
Dangerous combination.
How does anybody here know for certain that the Wii U won't see games like GTA 5? You just can't say that unless you are privy to some sort of secret knowledge. A good example proving my point is the Final Fantasy situation from years ago- Square/Enix (or whatever they are these days) was quoted time and time again, THE COMPANY ITSELF, as saying they would never ever ever bring a "main" FF game to Microsoft's console. Guess what? They did. It might have kinda sucked lol, but they did, and nobody ever thought it would happen in a million years.
I could never buy an Xbox or Playstation system. I have played both, a lot at friends houses and I have never even had the fraction of the fun that I have had on my Wii and now my Wii U. First party games and innovative technology is what makes a good system, and that is something neither of those systems have had. Like hell, Sony hasn't even changed the design of their controller since the original playstation. No imagination....
I mean I would consider LittlebigPlanet and Kinect both innovative. I would also consider Xbox Live and PS+ innovative as well.
Microsoft has come some interesting stuff in the Interactive TV field.
Using handless motion control and voice to control User Interface elements.
XBLA made the downloadable game on consoles popular.
The notion that a Console is for more than gaming, we had inklings of this concept with clncoles including DVD players but for the ,most till this gen consoles were still they're own separate devices. Now we have people buying consoles for the none gaming functions.
WAT!
Hey check out my awesome new youtube channel shingi70 where I update weekly on the latest gaming and comic news form a level headed perspective.

The reason that Sony has stuck with that controller is because it is incredibly ergonomic.
I mean, seriously. Some people act like it's better to make shocking products that are 'innovative' (not understanding that in the games industry there is no such thing as the kind of innovation they're talking about. Games industry merely repurposes existing technology, and yes that includes Nintendo), then make something good that works and stick with it.
The PS3 controller is legitimately brilliant. There is no reason whatsoever to change that design.
@ the "zomg it's like the Wii all over again" argument......... let's do that list of "big holiday 2006 titles" thing again
On Wii at launch:
Call of Duty 3
Madden 2007
Need for Speed: Carbon
Never on Wii:
Gears of War
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas
Resistance: Fall of Man
Wii exclusive
Wii Sports
Wii Play
Zelda Twilight Princess
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
now compare that to the list I made for the Wii U a few pages back.
Anecdotally at this point in the Wii's life, and I got it at launch as I did with the Wii U, I owned Wii Play, Wii Sports and Twilight Princess. No VC games as far as I can remember and WiiWare didn't even exist yet. Between January 2007 and about October 2007 I only got Super Mario Strikers and Super Paper Mario. That was the Wii drought of games.
In comparison with the Wii U I already have Assassin's Creed 3, New SMB U, Nintendo Land, Little Inferno and Nano Assault Neo. Between now and the October comparison date I'll almost surely grab Rayman Legends, Pikmin 3, Trine 2, Runner 2.... and probably something else.... maybe Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Night and day compared to the position the Wii was in.

Game design is what makes games innovative, not the machines running them. Just take a look:
Mario Galaxy is innovative in the way that it changed perpectives on how people viewed platformers in 3D space. It has nothing to do with the fact it was on Wii.
Metroid Prime was innovative in how it was able to take a property that before only existed in 2D and put it into a 3D space and still retain the feel of the game. The gamecube controller isn't why that worked.
Halo: Combat Evolved was so utterly different than any FPS prior. That, once again, doesn't have anything to do with the crappy original XBOX controller. It was because of its innovative game design.
Portal is innovative because, you guessed it, game design. There are plenty of games out there that have the same control scheme as Portal. None, however, play like it, since Portal changes how one views the way a video game can be.
I could keep going on and on, but I think you get my point.
Also, by saying there's no worthwhile games on PS3 or 360, you just stated that Ni No Kuni is uninteresting and stupid. That ain't right, man.
Actually, the Wii had a lot of games in its first year. Way more than the Wii U (so far), actually. It's just that most of them were terrible, unlike most of the games for the Wii U.

I disagree. Aside from the Xbox monstrosity, the PS2 and 3 controllers are the most uncomfortable to me. The best controller designs imo are Gamecube and SNES

Both of which I find very uncomfortable.
Now, the SNES and GC controller designs no longer exist, whereas the DualShock is the most popular controller of all time (given that it was on, you know, the PS2 and the PS3 is the second-most popular console this generation).
It would seem to me that the Dual Shock has the numbers on its side.
the PS2 and 3 controllers are the most uncomfortable to me.
Same here. The original PSX controller was pretty comfortable (aside from that d-pad of course) if you had four fingers poised over the rows of left and right shoulder buttons. But then the N64 sent Sony into a panic and they rushed out their uncomfortable Dual Analog controller which (thanks to StarFox 64) later became the DualShock controller we all know and loathe.
